The unusual site banners are to bring attention to the fact that Labour activists in Bexley are manipulating Facebook Groups with fictional posters. They deny it, threaten police action for ‘harassing’ a fictitious character and then demonstrate their willingness to impersonate by creating a false Administrator account in my name. The banner on display is chosen randomly from a selection of three, with a fourth bearing the familiar Bexley Council is Bonkers logo.
Some days there just isn’t anything to report but I don’t like to totally
disappoint site visitors so here is a little something.
Over the weekend an old friend and neighbour from when I lived in Farnborough,
Hampshire in the 1950s sent me this extract from the tenants’ handbook she
discovered among her mother’s effects. I liked the bit that emphasises how
councillors worked “entirely without pay or remuneration of any kind, on your
behalf” and “full Council meets once a month to decide on policies”. Now they
get up to £35,000 and meet only four or five times a year.
Whilst Farnborough Urban District Council encouraged tenants to attend its
meetings, Bexley is less than welcoming. The question for the next council
meeting which was submitted on 14th February with a comment about the
Data Protection Act
is still languishing without any form of acknowledgement or answer nearly two weeks later.
Maybe the Information Commissioner has had words with them.
